The EMPEROR Napoleon ON Acting.


Talma used to get out of his way to get
into passion when people talked to him
of the art of defamation, and he claimed,
quite rightly, that he acted and did not
declaim. Why should one not act CHINA,
Britanicus, Mithridate, leaving them tho
human and simple character! Why should
one not pour ones blood, ones own blood,
into these statue-like figures?
81 like you," said Napoleon to Talma,
''beeause you are always the parsonage you
represent. Pompey, Caesar, Augustus, that
sly politician, can never have embled
actors who are always on the stage, and alb
sorbed in getting themselves applauded.
They used to speak, and not to declaim;
and even at the tribune or at the head of
armies they were orators, and not actors.
Look you, Talma," added the Emperor;
ssyou often come to see me in the morning.
You meet number of people. They are
princesses who have been robbed of their
lovers, princes who have lost their domin-
ions, kings of yesterday whom war has
brought to the top, victorious Generals who
are hoping for or asking for crowns. There
are round me de1udsd ambitions, ardent
riyairies eatastrophes, sorrows concealed
at the bottom of the heart, Affections which
force their way into notice. Certainly
there is plenty of tragedy; my palace is
full of it, and I myself am assuredly the
most tragic of the figures of the time. Well,
do you see us raise our arms in the air, study
our gestures, assume attitudes, affect airs
of greatness9 Do you hear US utter criesa
Doubtless no. We speak naturally, as each
one speaks when he is inspired by an interest
or passion So did the people who before
us, occupied the worlds stage and also played
tragedy on the throne. These are the exam
ples to follow"

There are some Democratic papers which
see things about as they are One of them
Is the Charleston News, which says: Two
reflections present themselves at once for
consideration. The first of these reflections
Is that the administration is again shown to
have made a serious mistake in its dealings
with the Maryland spoilsmen, of whom Hig-
gins is at once the type and most conspicuous
representative. These men have openly set
at Ie6ance the pledges and the principles of
the Democratic party and have brought moth
ing but suspicion and reproach upon it.
Principle and policy alike required that they
should be promptly disowned and dismissed
at the outset of their obstructive and shame
full course, and the failure to get rid of them
has unquestionably hurt the administration
and the Democratic party more than all
other causes combined. Whatever has been
gained by the concessions made to them
and it is difficult to imagine what of good, at
least, has been gained-the conviction is
forced upon us that it has cost far more than
it was worth. The civil service reform Re-
publicans have been very nearly estranged
by the favor shown to Higgins, and it may
very we'll be believed that the Democratic
party in the country could better have spared
the whole vote of the State of Maryland than
to have secured the support of the Higgins
element in the whole country by countenanc-
ing or tolerating him as the price of such
support. The other reflection is that Mr..
Cowen and his followers, if he has any, have
made serious mistake in turn, in visiting
the sins of Higgins and company upon the
whole Democratic party

Wanted: A Jack Knife.

From Cne washington Star1
Professor Otis Mason, of the National Mu-
scum, made an appeal to the public at large
through the Star the other day for an eight
eenth century jack-knife. That evening,
before the professor finished his dinner, a
gentleman brought to his house rusty and
broken old knife dug up on the battlefield
of Ticonderoga-found side by side with the
flint blade of an Indian knife. Yesterday
some one, signing the name of Benjamin
Franklin, sent the professor the knife with
which, it is claimed, Franklin fashioned the
sticks for his kite. 1t is not jack-knife, but
pen-knife of very modern manufacture,
having, as some modern pocket-knives have,
little pair of scissors in it in place of one
of the blades. Another gentleman, whose
official position has given him opportunity
to make such collections, has promised to
give to the museum, not a jack.knife of the
eighteenth century, but collection of Asia
tic knives. The Ticonderoga knife is rusted
and the blade is broken. 1t was long, slen-
der knife of one blade, and originally the
blade turned on hinge or spring 80 that the
knife could be shut, but it is rusted stiff
now.
Every boy knows what jack-knife is, and
there are very few American boys who have
not owned one. Wnat great museum WanGs
of jack knife though, may puzzle not only
the boys, but some of the old folks too.
Therein lies hidden the prime idea of the
National Museum, which is SO planned and
arranged that when the grand scheme is ful@
ly perfected it will tell the story of man in
all his relations. It will tell, in object less
sons, how he was Graded, what he played
with when child, how he was dressed,
what his occupations in manhood, how he
went to war, how and what he worshipped,
what ceremonies attended his marriage and
funeral 1t will tell the story not only of
man, as he is known and seen to-day on
Pennsylvania avenue, but of primitive man,
of the red man, the African, the Esquimau.
His social relations and his empleyments will
be illustrated. All things laid under contri-
button for his use or amusement will have
full exposition. And the jack-knife tells
something of this great story. The jack
knife, Professor Mason says, is properly
knife of one blade. It derives its name from
the French Jacques, which is name given
to low, illiterate fellows. Their knives had
but one blade. When a man learned to
write he had to sharpen his pen, and carried
pen-knife with tive or more blades. To
tell the history of the jack-knife, or the ones
bladed knife, would require large case in
the National Museum. Professor Mason has
the materials scattered about the shelves and
drawers in his laboratory at the National
Museum.
He has the rude stone blades of the paleo-
lithic and neolithic man, the rude savage

THE INCREASE OF CRTME

This is great, glorious and comparatively
free country but there are some discouraging
things in it. One of them is indicated by
some facts published in the International
Record of Charities and Corrections. These
facts show the increase of crime here, and
they are rather startling.
The facts given refer solely to commitments
to the penitentiary. It is found that in
Pennsylvania in 1880 the ratio of commit
ments was only one for every 1920 of the
population, but in 1880 it was one to every
5,931. In Maine in 1860 there was one i'm
prisonment for every 15,323 of population:
in 1880 one in every II, 1 IS. In New Hamp-
shire in 1890 the proportion was one to A.
600; in 1880 it was one to 1920. In New
Jersey the commitments increased form one
in G, 1914 in 1880 to one in 2,346 in 1880. The
ratio has risen in Illinois during the past
thirty years from one in 9,460 to one in g.,
481, or nearly three to one; while in Mime
sofa the advance is two to one, and in Iowa
more than one-half. These are but a few of
the typical cases. It would not be quite
correct, however, to take these figures as the
exact measure of the growth of crime. They
refer to commitments only, and it is proba-
bic that larger proportion of criminals is
imprisoned in these times than formerly in
consequence of better facilities for detection
and arrest. The ratio of commitments to
population does not, therefore, correspond
exactly with that of criminal offences. Even,
however, when this allowance is made, it is
evident that the ratio of criminals to the
total population of the country is vastly
larger than it formerly was.
This is very sad, but there is no re ason for
hopelessness. The Providence Journal well
says: If the proportion of criminals is in
creasing, the morality of the non-criminal
class is doubtless strengthening and stiffen-
ing also; and if criminal offences are more
numerous than they used to be, the ability of
society at large to deal with Them is also
greater because in general it may be said
that much broader and firmer idea of JUS
tice and right attains in the world to-day
than ever before. But the knowledge that
here in the United States, where the intel
lectual and moral level is supposed to be ex-
ceptionally high, crime is yet increasing so
much more rapidly than the population, is
enough to make us look around for some
means of improving the moral status of the
country. And the significant fact that the
record of commitments shows the largest in
crease in those States which have received
the greatest influx of foreign immigration
may, perhaps, point out one of the readiest
remedies.
